The Portrush Road is a main road in Adelaide , in the center of the Australian state of South Australia .

The road designated as the A17 national road continues into the northern part of the city to Grand Junction Road .

course

It begins at the north end of the Adelaide-Crafers Highway (M1) at the foot of the Adelaide Hills , from where the Cross Road (A3) to the west and the Glen Osmond Road (A1) to the northwest to the city center. Portrush Road connects to the north and acts as an eastern bypass of downtown Adelaide. In Tusmore they crossed the Green Hill Road (A21), in Kensington , the Kensington Road , in Beulah Park street The Parade and in Trinity Gardens , the Magill Road , all of which result from the city center to the east.

Portrush Road ends at Payneham Road (A11), which runs northeast from the city center on the southeast bank of the River Torrens .

A17

At Payneham Road, the A17 national road turns northwest and crosses the River Torrens as Lower Portrush Road . From the bridge it is called Ascot Avenue . From the junction with North East Road (A10) it is called Taunton Road . Approx. 100 meters further the road turns north again and is called Hampstead Road . The A17 national road ends at the junction with Grand Junction Road (NA16).

The national roads A17 (Portrush Road - Hampstead Road) and A16 (Grand Junction Road) form the main routes for freight traffic from the suburbs of Adelaide, southern South Australia and adjacent Victoria to the Port of Adelaide and the northern parts of South Australia.

Possible expansion

If the Metropolitan Adelaide Transport Study had been carried out in the 1960s, a Hills Freeway would have been built along what is now Portrush Road as a connection from the South Eastern Freeway (M1) to the port of Adelaide. This would have taken up the freight traffic, which is now routed via Portrush Road and its northern connections.
